Evermay, Federal mansion in Georgetown, United States.
Description
Evermay is a two-story brick house in Georgetown with matching windows, detailed cornices, and a formal layout across its 3.5-acre grounds. The property includes extensive gardens that frame the residence and provide space for outdoor events.
History
Samuel Davidson built the house in 1801 using money from selling land that became the White House grounds. This project marked his transition from real estate dealings to establishing a major estate.
Culture
The house serves as a gathering place where artists and scientists find support and performance opportunities today. Its rooms and gardens host creative events that make it a living center for emerging talent.
Practical
The property opens for tours and events on specific dates throughout the year. Plan ahead to check event schedules before visiting, as the house is not open daily.
Did you know?
Every brick in the walls came from Davidson's own brickyards on his property. This material connection to the land shows how completely the building was built from local resources.
